I am not a Joy Division fan beyond owning a couple of singles so maybe I went too far by thinking this book would appeal to me. Its a bygone age that brought us a wealth of music with a heart which is quite a depressing thought in itself. These guys did it for the love of doing it, their naivety of the industry and even making music is refreshing in a day of manufactured rubbish that is x factor and pop idol. I think as boys growing up thinking how cool it would be to be in a band and how you'd live the high life this book shows how wrong this perception can be. BIG MISTAKE I couldn't stop listening to it and ended up having to download another book for my journey I bought this book specifically to listen to durring a long journey I had to make and thought I'd have a sneaky listen the day before. I almost did and had to fight myself not to. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Have you listened to any of Peter Hook’s other performances? How does this one compare? If you could sum up Unknown Pleasures: Inside Joy Division in three words, what would they be? A great listen regardless of being a fan or not
